A waltz - or a little quicker - on nylon string jazz guitar. A familiar tumbling cadence, like the Scottish Border waterfall it's named after.

Story behind the song
This is a simple thumb-and-two-fingers folkstyle piece which was written for easy translation to fiddle (in the key of D) using some familiar motifs from waltzes or polkas which are often found in Scottish dance music. It was recorded using the new 'Pick Up the World' acoustic sensor instead of the usual combination of microphones and internal pickup. My normal amount of reverb and compression has been added, so that anyone wanting to judge the pickup can compare this with tracks like 'The Last Rays of Summer'.
